sunshine after the rain

from the same website as the billion dollar gram i posted yesterday, i found this; a map of how much land we would need to cover with solar panels to provide the whole planet with power until 2030.

i actually can't believe we're not doing it. it's one of those 'no-brainers' that if the general public had any choice over how the world is run, would be instigated next week. oh well, i guess it's another thing that gets looked through by governments and corporations, much in the same way as trying to focus on the invisible man,

"what? i can't see you, are you there? am i looking in the right direction? oh. maybe you're not there"

"i am here. and i'm wearing a hat."

"i guess you're not there"

"i am here. and i'm talking to you and waving an enormous neon sign above my head that says 'invisible man here.' neither the sign, nor the sound of my voice is invisible."

"he must've left the room. oh well, i'm going to make my own invisible man out of petrol."

...that was a weird metaphor.
